Fodor's Expert Review Mönchsbergaufzug
The Altstadt
Just around the corner from the Pferdeschwemme horse fountain, at Anton-Neumayr Platz, you'll find the Mönchsberg elevator, which carries you up 60 meters through solid rock in less than 30 seconds. At the top, you'll find not only to the Museum der Moderne but also some lovely wooded paths that are great for walking and gasping—there are spectacular vistas of Salzburg. In summer, the elevator is a marvelous (and quick) way to escape the tiny, crowded streets of the Old City.
